I don’t do very much with astrophotography, but I thought I’d give it a try with the triple conjunction yesterday evening. Venus is on the left, Mars is above it and slightly to the right, the crescent Moon is on the right, partially illuminated by earthshine.

I was honored last week to have one of my images selected by Steve Beltz to receive 1st place in the Advanced Color category of the Loudoun Photography Club’s “Water” competition. It’s a wonderful tribute to our Founding Fathers.

Time for a change.

Welcome to the new website for www.radiantviewphotography.com and my blog formally at radiantviewphotography.blogspot.com. Actually, I’ve been needing to make this change for a long while but had been putting it off. Momentum works both ways you know. Then I got an email that my web hosting service was going out of business which forced the search for a web hosting service, name and blog. And here we are. If all goes well, searches to radiantviewphotography.com will end up here.

After talking with several folks, but most notably Denise Sliva of Road Runner Photography Tours, I decided to go with WordPress and the Photocrati theme for my website hosted on Dreamhost.com. So far I’ve been quite pleased. Wordpress is much easier to manage than trying to write my own html code — hence why I never updated my website. And Dreamhost has proven to have much better customer support than my previous company — you can actually chat with a tech who responds in a timely manner and provides answers in a fashion someone unfamiliar with all this stuff can understand. Wow, what a concept.

Time will tell how frequently I keep this blog updated.

What do you think?

I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the new website. Please leave any comments below.
